Meghan Markle receives huge blow as major American Riviera Orchard request is rejected
Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has suffered a setback after her US trademark application was rejected.
The Duchess of Sussex has now been given three months to respond to the “nonfinal officer action” issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
She has been warned that failure to do so could result in her application being abandoned.
In their consideration of her trademark bid, Meghan was also told she needed to cough up another $700 (£532) if she wanted to proceed after failing to pay the correct fee initially.
In their 48-page action, USPTO officials explained why Meghan’s trademark bid failed to be successful.
